FGC: A Dynamic and Effective Quaker Organization
Friends General Conference serves and nurtures virtually all Quaker meetings in the unprogrammed tradition of Friends in the United States and Canada. Increasingly, we are extending FGC’s services beyond the unprogrammed community of Friends.
As the demand for our services has grown, FGC has moved boldly to develop and expand programs focused on the needs and opportunities of today’s Quakerism.
- Since 1998 FGC has:
- Started the Traveling Ministries Program
- Established the Committee for Ministry on Racism
- Created the Youth Ministries Program
- Developed four new websites: www.fgcquaker.org; www.QuakerBooks.org; www.QuakerFinder.org; and www.QuakerYouth.org
- Established the quarterly FGConnections-a Quaker issues newsletter
- Held a series of consultations and retreats on concerns including travel in the ministry, nurturing calls to ministry in meetings, clerking yearly meetings and working with youth and young adults
- Published a greatly expanded catalogue of books, curricula and other materials
